Hello everyone, I'm making this thread because its been a little over a year since owning this car and need somewhere to keep track of my progress. Thank you to the community of CL for all the knowledge I gained from researching other threads! Enjoy!

Future plans:

Here is the IS in stock form.
BCR Coilovers first installed!
Got my wheels shortly after the coil overs
Wheels on! Horrible fitment..

Sometime after that I lowered it more, fixed the preloads and put rear camber arms in.
Then came my spoiler, diffuser, and front lip! (Not all at once)
Thats all for now! Stay tuned!

It's good, I'm a little hesitate about lowering anymore because of the vibrations I get in D while stopped. I don't feel any wobbles on acceleration others are experiencing.. AWD sucks

I'm on 225 40 18. I am rubbing on pot holes. I want to get some 215 35 18s. Not sure tho...
I have a question for all air suspension gurus... I am picking up a set of Megan LPs with air bags on them. I've heard this combination isn't great. They've been described as "floaty". Can anyone shine some light for me?

Once my tires are done, I plan on getting 215 35s. But I do... feel... every single bump pot hole etc... even when it's full hard dampening. It's annoying but I soon lived with it just like the vibrations from lowering. By the way, your old 2is was BEAUTIFUL. Haven't seen much of the 3is but I'm sure you'll do it right
